    To solve this problem we will start by calculating time needed for each of them to fill the pool.

    We have formula:

    Volume = rate * time

    Or

    time = volume / rate

    Wilma:

    time = 9900 / 900

    time = 11h

    Betty:

    time = 9900 / 500

    time = 19.8h

    Now we substract these two numbers:

    time_difference = 19.8 - 11 = 8.8h

    Betty needs 8.8 hours more than Wilma to fill the pool.
